PhilHealth commits to process ahead of prescribed time frame

THE Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) assured accredited healthcare providers it is committed to paying claims that are without deficiencies and compliant to all pertinent policies and requirements of the program.

This was reiterated by the state health insurer amid concerns of the Private Hospital Association of the Philippines Inc. (PHAPi) over the supposed nonpayment of claims to their member hospitals, amounting to P6 billion. PhilHealth clarified that the issue was not presented in the proper perspective as the said hospital association only highlighted the unpaid portion and downplayed that a total of P25 billion had been paid in 2020.
